Origin

Late 19th century (in sense 'disguise, concealment'): French, from camoufler 'to disguise' (originally thieves' slang), from Italian camuffare 'disguise, deceive', perhaps by association with French camouflet 'whiff of smoke in the face'. The military sense originated during the First World War.

This was adopted from French, from camoufler ‘to disguise’, which was originally thieves' slang. It comes from Italian camuffare ‘to disguise’.
